Following a fan vote, the Lingerie Football League (LFL) unveiled the name and logo for St. Louis' expansion franchise: the St. Louis Saints. More than 8,500 names were submitted to the league for consideration.

The St. Louis Saints will be part of the LFL's Eastern Conference and compete against the recently named Omaha Heart expansion franchise, as well as the Tampa Breeze, Orlando Fantasy, Baltimore Charm, Philadelphia Passion and Cleveland Crush.

The St. Louis Saints will host the team's first open tryout Sunday, June 24 at Vetta Sports Club Soccerdome, located at 12320 Old Tesson Road, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The LFL is encouraging prospective players to come prepared to participate in strength, speed, agility and conditioning drills. Dress attire is athletic (sports bra and shorts) with cleats. Athletes will be asked to bring a photo to leave behind and to arrive at least 45 minutes prior for registration.
